ELIZABETH PACKARD // ACTIVIST

“She was an American advocate for the rights of women and people accused of insanity. She was wrongfully committed to an insane asylum by her husband, who claimed that she had been insane for more than three years. At her trial, however, a jury concluded that she was not insane after only seven minutes of deliberation. She later founded the Anti-Insane Asylum Society, campaigning for divorced women to retain custody of their children.”

The Woman They Could Not Silence by Kate Moore

When I first saw this book on the giveaways and read the description, I knew I needed to read and learn Elizabeth Packard's story. I finally had the chance to sit down and read it and I was blown away. Elizabeth had an incredible story and was a woman far ahead of her time. Imprisoned by her pastor husband for having different beliefs than him and speaking out about her beliefs, we read her incredible journey through being in an asylum, to her fight to declare herself sane and reunite with her children. Many women wouldn't be able to survive half of what she endured. She never lost hope even when it seemed all hope was lost. She is and should be an inspiration to women everywhere, and a display of why it is important to never give up.

Decent movie. I do have some criticisms about a few of the choices they made. But still. Decent movie. I’d almost definitely watch it again

Pairing: Charles Brandon x Elizabeth Montague (OFC)

WC 2571

Warnings: Smut and vampy elements

Court was busy, as it usually was, with simpering ladies and peacocking lords, all vying for power and prestige, to increase their standing above one another. Deceit, betrayal, rumors and lies. Blackmail and back stabbing. All were traded and dealt in as easily as coin.

You'd think with the centuries he had spent among them, he would have tired of their ceaseless machinations, but you would be wrong.

He loved it.

Henry sat on the throne at the head of court, his newest bride at his side. Charles didn't bother to learn this one's name. She wouldn't last long, if her predecessors were anything to go by. His eyes scanned the crowd, looking at each of the ladies in turn, their marital status not effecting his appraisal of them. A bed warmer, or a meal, perhaps both, was what he was searching for, and he found that his standing as the King's "friend" made Ladies of court much more receptive of his advances. Taking a goblet of wine from a passing tray carried by a servant, he skirted around the dance floor and its spinning bodies, his eyes moving from one to the next like a lion appraising a herd of gazelle, looking for the weakest.

They stopped, falling on a young woman standing next to a very stern faced older woman. Her eyes were down, her hands clasped in front of her, but her shoulders were back, her jaw strong, not the bearing of the meek and timid. Taking a sip of the wine, he moved towards them, his eyes not leaving her.

"Lady Montague." Charles said, "A pleasure. And who is this beautiful flower you have with you?"

"The pleasure is mine, Your Grace." Lady Montague said, "And this is my youngest daughter, Elizabeth. Say hello, Elizabeth."

"Your Grace." She said, giving a curtsy but not raising her eyes from the floor.

"I don't think I've seen you at court before, Elizabeth." Charles pointed out.

"I--"

"Quiet, Elizabeth." Her mother snapped and he saw the way her shoulders tightened. "Pardon us, Your Grace, but this is mine and her father's last effort at finding a good match for her. The other have not gone well. Twenty one summers and still unwed." She clicked her tongue disapprovingly and he watched the muscle in Elizabeth's jaw jump.

"Not gone well?" He asked, "How so?"

"She's a willful child, Your Grace, more interested in horse back riding and sword play, learning of the stars in the heavens than needlework or anything befitting a proper wife." The Lady said, "Shameful. Every match her father and I have made called off the engagement after a single conversation with her. It's maddening."

"It's--"

"I said quiet, Elizabeth."

"I'll marry her." Charles said and he didn't know who was more surprised at the words, himself or Lady Montague.

"Your Grace!" She exclaimed, "I couldn't possibly allow you to--what I mean to say is she's not fit to be the bride of someone of your personage!"

"Lady Montague, you seem to be under the impression that I'm asking." Charles said, "I'm not. I'm telling you that I will marry her." She looked up then and he felt the smile pull at his lips, "There she is, and what beautiful green eyes she has, like emeralds in the sunlight."

"Your Grace, I..."

"Come now, dearest. We are to be wed." Charles said, "You may call me Charles, if it pleases you. Now, I would love to hear about the stars in the heavens, but I suppose it might be easier if we were looking at them. Shall we go to the gardens?" He offered her his arm and there was a moment's hesitation before she slid her arm through his.

"Yes, Your--Charles. I would love to." Those eyes of hers were only for him, but he caught how her mother's mouth opened and closed like a gasping fish as he led her away. He also noticed how it had not missed Henry's attention, as his own gaze was fixed on them, watching as they walked towards the garden doors.

They were married as quickly as possible, her dowry paid, and he got the feeling that her parents were glad to be rid of her and she of them. Henry oversaw the ceremony as his right as King, the priest spouting the flowery words of love, devotion, loyalty, and servitude. Charles hardly heard them, his eyes focused on Elizabeth as she looked gorgeous in her wedding dress. He still responded when necessary as did she, but she couldn't seem to take her eyes from him as well. Their time in the gardens that night had been an enjoyable one, as she told him of the stars, the myths behind the constellations, tracing between the twinkling lights with a fingertip raised in the air. He had kissed her, taking her by surprise, but her eyes had closed as she responded to him. A true response, not the trained response of someone with ulterior motives.

He had almost taken her right there on the ground, and as hidden as they were, no one would have noticed, but he refrained, leaving her with a beautiful flush to her pale cheeks, her lips rosy and kiss bruised.

The reception after the ceremony seemed to drag on for ages and even though he had literally just been married, some Ladies of the court still tried to seduce him, touching him unnecessarily, laughing falsely at some things he said, pressing their breasts against his arm. Elizabeth appeared seemingly out of thin air, giving him a smile, and the women a steely glare with a such a force that they shrank away, pulling him away with her fingers wrapped around his. His new bride was a wolf among sheep, it seemed, and he couldn't be more pleased.

Finally they were allowed to retire after Henry left and Charles swore he held off his departure as long as possible, as if he were trying to delay the inevitable for as long as possible.

He closed the door to his—their—bedchambers behind him, looking at her standing there still in her wedding dress, her veil having been discarded sometime over the course of the night. She trembled slightly as he went to her, reaching up to touch the side of her face gently. Not fear, he got no trace of that from her. Nerves.

“Have you ever been touched by a man before?” He asked gently and there was a moment of hesitation before she shook her head.

“N-No.”

“I'll take care of you, my wife.” He whispered, “And taking care of you will ensure that you take care of me.” She nodded and he leaned into her, his eyes moving over her face before he kissed her, pressing his lips to hers gently. The sound she made at the touch of his lips was almost imperceptible, but it made him groan and he pulled her closer, crushing her against him with an arm around her waist as he deepened the kiss, his tongue sliding into her mouth to swirl against her. He didn't need to breathe, but she did, and she gasped as he pulled away, her chest heaving in the corset, that beautiful flush back on her cheeks. His fingers worked on the back ties of her dress and soon it was pooled at her feet in a heap of silk and lace, her petticoats joined it and her fingers curled in his shirt as he pulled her against him again, a shudder racing down his spine at the feel of her without so much fabric between them.

The corset was next and she pulled away from him, turning her back on him as it fell away, shielding her body from him.

“Come now, Liz.” He whispered, his hands laying on her bare shoulders. “I wish to see my bride's beautiful form, is that too much to ask for?”

“N-No, I—”

“You're nervous.” He said, “It's to be expected. As I said, I will take care of you.” He then became very aware of the fact that he was still fully dressed and he fixed that, shedding the numerous layers quickly, leaving them on the floor as he stepped very close behind her, holding her arms and pulling her back against him. Her gentle gasp as his bare chest pressed against her back made him smile and her head tilted to the side slightly as his lips touched her neck. Running his hands down her arms, he gently pulled them from where they had been crossed over her chest before dragging his fingertips back up her stomach. Her breasts filled his palms and she whimpered, her head falling back against his shoulder as he kneaded them gently, rolling the tips between his fingers. “That's it, my dearest, relax and let yourself feel it.”

“Charles...” She breathed and he turned her, taking her in his arms again and kissing her, her arms resting on his shoulders and a shudder ran down his spine as her nails traced through his shorn hair. Bending slightly at the knees, he picked her up in a bridal carry, taking her to the bed and laying her down, moving over her and looking down at her.

“You're so beautiful.” He whispered and pressed his lips to hers, holding the side of her face. He moved down her body, tasting her skin as he went, pulling her small clothes down and off and she was bare beneath him finally. Her small squeak of surprise as he pulled her to the foot of the bed made him chuckle and he heard as her breath caught when he parted her legs, looking down at her.

"What're you---What're you doing?" She asked, propping herself up on her elbows to watch him.

"Don't. Move." He said and pulled a dagger he had from its sheath under the bed.

"Charles?" There was a slight tremor to her voice.

"Relax, my dearest, and you won't be harmed." He said and brought the blade to her mound, running it close to her skin and shaving away the hair covering her womanhood. He kept the blade extremely sharp so there almost no resistance as he worked on her, her breath catching again as his fingers moved her for protection and better angles until there was nothing but a thin layer of stubble left behind. "There." He said, "You'll feel that much more now." A small amount of wetness had gathered from his touches and he ran his fingers through her, the whimper she let out making him smile. "Oh, my dear Elizabeth." Blowing slightly, he blew the shavings from her skin, running his hand over her to brush them onto the blanket folded at the end of the bed before pulling it out from under her, keeping the mess contained and casting it aside. Looking up at her, he watched her swallow heavily and he laid his palms against her inner thighs before dipping his head down and running his tongue along her slightly irritated flesh. Humming, he did it again, this time pressing his tongue between her folds and tasting her fully.

"Oh gods." She breathed and he heard her fall back onto the bed.

"So sweet, my wife." He said and latched his lips onto her, swirling his tongue through her, finding her pearl and sucking it between his lips. Parting her with his fingertips, he flicked his tongue against her, pressing it just inside her before licking up her again, taking her between his lips. Tracing her entrance with a couple fingertips, she gasped as he slid them into her, pumping slowly as he continued to taste her. He felt her fingers move through his hair and he held her hand with his, entwining their fingers and giving her something to hold onto as he pushed her higher and higher.

Her fingers clenched, her back arched, and her name left his lips in a gasp as she came, her soft cries filling the room as waves of pleasure washed over her.

"So good for me." He whispered, pressing soft kisses to her swollen flesh, still pumping his fingers slowly as she fluttered and clenched around them. Pulling his hand from her, he knelt on the bed, moving up her slowly until he was over, seeing her pleading eyes, dark with desire. "My wonderful wife." Pushing his smalls down and off, he took himself in his hand and pumped briefly, coating himself with her before running the wide head over her. "I won't lie to you, it will hurt, but I have prepared you as much as I can so the pain will be bearable." She just nodded. "Hold onto me, dearest." Her arms wrapped around his chest as he aligned them, pressing her into the bed with his weight before starting to push forward. Her breath caught and she tensed at the intrusion. "Breathe, my love, breathe." Her breath left her in a rush and he continued pushing into her.

"Charles..." She whimpered, holding onto him tightly and he pressed his lips to her hair.

"I know, my dearest, it's almost over." He said and soon he bottomed out inside her, pressed inside her to the base and she gasped, gulping in air. "Easy, sweetheart. Easy. I won't move until you tell me." She nodded and he ran his lips over her face, her neck, her shoulders, his hands running over her skin and massaging tensed muscles. Bit by bit she started to relax and she gave a sigh.

"Okay." She said with a nod and he started to move, pushing and pulling slowly. The way she felt, how tightly she gripped him, it made him move faster, looping an arm around her waist and holding her against him as he worked between her legs. Small noises started to leave her lips as he joined them again and again, and he rested his forehead against hers, looking into her eyes.

"Does it still hurt?" He asked but she shook her head.

"Not anymore." She said and he kissed her, holding the side of her face and grunting into her lips. Her legs cinched high around his hips and he buried his face in her neck, panting into her skin. He felt the familiar tugging in his mouth and he ran his tongue along her throat, pulling the vein to the surface. His lips parted and he surged into her just as he bit down, his fangs piercing her skin. The taste of her blood made his head spin and he found himself moving harder, faster, as he pulled from her. Her cries in his ears was almost musical and he felt the moment she released again, her muscles contracting around him so very tightly, massaging and milking him. Pulling away from her throat, he licked the last traces of her from his lips and her skin, his eyes rolling back as she continued to pulse around him, pushing him over the edge. He joined them roughly, pressing them together so tightly he wasn't sure where he ended and she began as he spilled inside her, filling her.

She panted in his ear, her heart thundering against his chest as he pulled back only much as to look down at her.

"My dear Elizabeth." He whispered and pressed his lips to hers, kissing her deeply and holding her tight against him.

SAN JOSE, California — Disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes has been rebuffed in her attempt to stay out of federal prison while she appeals her conviction for the fraud she committed while overseeing a blood-testing scam that exposed Silicon Valley’s dark side.

In an 11-page ruling issued late Monday, U.S. District Judge Edward Davila concluded there wasn't compelling enough evidence to allow Holmes to remain free on bail while her lawyers try to persuade an appeals court that alleged misconduct during her four-month trial led to an unjust verdict.

The judge’s decision means Holmes, 39, will have to surrender to authorities April 27 to start the more than 11-year prison sentence that Davila imposed in November. The punishment came 10 months after a jury found her guilty on four counts of fraud and conspiracy against the Thearanos investors who believed in her promises to revolutionize the health care industry.

Holmes had accompanied her lawyers to a San Jose, California, courtroom on March 17 to try to convince Davila that various missteps by federal prosecutors, and the omission of key evidence, will culminate in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals exonerating her.

Holmes' prison sentence is scheduled to start roughly 20 years after she dropped out of Stanford University when she was 19 years old to start Theranos in Palo Alto, California — the same city where William Hewlett and David Packard founded a company bearing their surnames in a small garage and planted the seeds of what grew into Silicon Valley.

Holmes could still file another appeal of Davila's latest ruling, a maneuver her co-conspirator at Theranos — Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani — successfully used to delay his scheduled March 16 date to begin a nearly 13-year prison sentence. But the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals last week rejected that appeal, and Balwani is now scheduled to report to a Southern California prison on April 20.

Davila has recommended Holmes serve her sentence in a Bryan, Texas, prison. It hasn’t yet been publicly confirmed if that will be the facility where she reports.

Unless she can find a way to stay free, Holmes will be separated from the two children she had leading up to the trial and after her conviction.

Her first child, a boy, was born shortly before her trial began in September 2021. The youngest child, whose gender hasn’t been disclosed in court documents, was born at some point after her November sentencing. She conceived both with her current partner, William “Billy” Evans, whom she met after breaking up with Balwani in the midst of Theranos’ downfall.

The denial of Holmes’ request to remain free is the latest twist in a long-running saga that has already been the subject of an acclaimed HBO documentary and an award-winning Hulu TV series.

Although they had separate trials, Holmes and Balwani were accused of essentially the same crimes centered on a ruse touting Theranos’ blood-testing system as a breakthrough in health care. The claims helped the company become a Silicon Valley sensation that raised nearly $1 billion from investors and at one point anointed Holmes with a $4.5 billion fortune, based on her 50% stake in Theranos.

Holmes also parlayed the buzz surrounding Theranos to speaking engagements on the same stage as former President Bill Clinton and glowing cover stories in business publications that likened her to tech visionaries such as Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.

But Theranos’ technology never came close to working like Holmes and Balwani boasted, resulting in the company’s scandalous collapse and a criminal case that shined a bright light on Silicon Valley greed and hubris.

Maybe someone from the Pack like Isobella?

I used to headcanon her as sharing a voice with a Bob the Builder character, but I can't for the life of me remember who.

1.Unless your name is Kelly, Oliver, Byron, or Miss Jenny, do not call her 'Izzy.' Monty made the mistake of doing so once and quickly wished that he hadn't.

2. She often finds herself keeping an eye on the resident klutzes Ned and Darcy. She acts like it's a bother, but she's almost always the first to jump to their defense when Max or Monty are getting on their case.

3. Isobella was the first vehicle bought by Miss Jenny when she took over Packard and Co. Back then, she used to be red like Elizabeth, but she eventually convinced Miss Jenny to have her painted yellow.

4. She sees a bit of herself in Jack. She can well remember when she was young and eager to please, and tries to guide Jack away from getting into the same scrapes she used to.

5. Max and Monty once tried to stir up trouble by saying that James called her paintwork gaudy. Isobella went to confront the red engine, only for him to compliment her. He even commended her for keeping so clean despite her dirty work environments. They've been firm friends ever since.

+1. She loves trying to get a rise out of Elizabeth. She'll tease her for being a stick in the mud or for whatever grinding noise her engine is making that week, but they always end up reminiscing about when they were young.

THE WOMAN THEY COULD NOT SILENCE

by Kate Moore

[packedwithpackards]

I recently came across a page in the diaries of Susan B. Anthony, where she mentions Elizabeth! In a diary entry on May 28, 1870, she writes that she talked to Elizabeth, saying that "she has been in insane asylum for years, because of unbelief in Orthodoxy," with her husband a minister. [Anthony, Susan B. Susan B. Anthony Papers: Daybook and Diaries, -1906; Diaries; 1870. 1870. Manuscript/Mixed Material. https://www.loc.gov/resource/mss11049.mss11049-001_00519_00682/?q=packard&sp=53.] Sadly, that's it. Originally shared on this blog in Nov. 2022.

Finally finished The Woman They Could Not Silence and I’m crying about the fact that they did silence Elizabeth Packard after all, for a century and more after she died, and how fucking unfair it is that one of her abusers has a hospital named after him but no one knows her name. But also crying because she went through so much and she did so much good, worked so hard to put things in place that have helped us get as far as we have.

Idk I didn’t expect to be this emotional about it in the end but it’s past 11pm and I have work tomorrow and instead of sleeping I’m in bed silently crying for a woman who lived and fought and died just shy of a century before I was born.
